With the increasing tension of energy resources and the improvement of environmental protection requirements, the application of energy-saving technology in industrial production has been paid more and more attention. The heating furnace is one of the main energy consumption equipment in the production process of petrochemical ring flange forgings. Therefore, how to apply energy-saving technology to reduce the energy consumption of heating furnace and improve the production efficiency is an urgent problem to be solved. This paper will introduce the application of energy saving technology in heating furnace of petrochemical ring flange forgings, in order to provide reference for related enterprises.
Application of energy-saving technology in heating furnace
Optimize heating furnace design
In the design stage of the heating furnace, the heat transfer efficiency and heat loss of the heating furnace should be fully considered, and the advanced structure and materials should be used to improve the thermal efficiency of the heating furnace. At the same time, the size and structure of the heating furnace should be reasonably designed to ensure that the capacity of the heating furnace matches the production demand, and to avoid too large or too small design leading to energy waste.
Use high-efficiency burners
Selecting high-efficiency burners is one of the key measures to save energy in reheating furnaces. The high efficiency burner has the advantages of high combustion efficiency and low pollution, which can greatly reduce the energy consumption of the heating furnace. At the same time, the high efficiency burner can also realize the optimal control of the combustion process by automatically adjusting the combustion parameters, and further improve the thermal efficiency of the heating furnace.
Enhanced insulation measures
The insulation measure is an important means to reduce the heat loss of reheating furnace. In the selection of thermal insulation materials for heating furnaces, materials with low thermal conductivity, high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance should be selected, such as aluminum silicate fibers and ceramic fibers. At the same time, the insulation layer structure should be reasonably designed to ensure that the insulation layer is closely fitted with the furnace body to reduce heat loss.
Intelligent control technology
Intelligent control technology is one of the important means to realize energy saving of heating furnace. Through the introduction of advanced sensors, controllers and actuators, the real-time monitoring and automatic control of the heating furnace are realized. Through intelligent control technology, the operation parameters of the heating furnace can be automatically adjusted according to the production demand and process parameters, and the optimal utilization of energy can be realized.
Waste heat recovery technology
Waste heat recovery technology is one of the important means to reduce the energy consumption of reheating furnace. During the operation of the heating furnace, a large amount of waste heat will be generated. Through waste heat recovery technology, this part of waste heat can be recycled and used to reduce energy waste. At the same time, the waste heat recovery technology can also improve the operating temperature of the heating furnace and further improve the thermal efficiency of the heating furnace.
Taking ring flange forging production line of a petrochemical enterprise as an example, advanced energy-saving technology of heating furnace is adopted in this production line. By optimizing furnace design, selecting high-efficiency burner, strengthening heat preservation measures, introducing intelligent control technology and waste heat recovery technology, the energy-saving operation of heating furnace is realized. According to the statistics of actual operation data, after adopting energy-saving technology, the energy consumption of heating furnace is reduced by 20% and the production efficiency is increased by 15%. This case fully proves the importance and application value of heating furnace energy-saving technology in the production of petrochemical ring flange forgings.
By optimizing furnace design, selecting high-efficiency burner, strengthening heat preservation measures, introducing intelligent control technology and waste heat recovery technology, the energy-saving operation of heating furnace in the production process of petrochemical ring flange forgings can be realized. These measures can not only reduce energy consumption and production costs, but also improve production efficiency and product quality. Therefore, in the production process of petrochemical ring flange forgings, these energy-saving technologies should be actively promoted and applied to create greater economic and social benefits for enterprises.
